MAINTENANCE
BLADE SPINDLE LUBRICATION
Blade spindles must be lubricated daily (every 10 hrs). Access lubrication fitting through hole in outer shields
and in center gearbox mounting. Grease spindle until a small amount of grease purges from the upper seal,
wipe off any excess grease.
NOTE: Do not over lube as excess grease may get on belt drive.
BLADE SERVICING
Inspect blades before each use to determine that they are properly installed and in good condition. Replace
any blade that is bent, excessively nicked, worn, or has any other damage. Small nicks can be ground out
when sharpening.
Use only original equipment blades on this cutter. They are made of special heat-treated
alloy steel. WILL-FIT BLADES MAY NOT MEET SPECIFICATIONS AND MAY FAIL
CATASTROPHICALLY AND CAUSE BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.
Inspect Blades daily for abnormal wear. If Blades have a notch worn into the leading edge at
the lower bend more than a 1/2” DEEP (due to running in gravel and/or the ground),
REPLACE BOTH BLADES ON THAT CARRIER IMMEDIATELY. Failure to replace such
abnormally worn blades may lead to catastrophic failure of the blade and ejection of the
broken part with tremendous force which may cause bodily injury or death!
NOTE: Replace Blades after no more than 1/2" notch wear!
Replace bent or broken blades with new blades. NEVER ATTEMPT TO STRAIGHTEN,
WELD, OR WELD HARDFACING ON BLADES SINCE THIS WILL LIKELY CRACK OR
OTHERWISE DAMAGE THE BLADE WITH SUBSEQUENT FAILURE AND POSSIBLY
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY FROM THROWN BLADES.
